Darkness Wraps My Pain

Darkness Wraps My Pain I was born to this flesh A slayer in pain No regret, no remorse Gold and pleasure my gain I never wanted love Nor did I want joy I found death a trip Where I once was open Now I hide in darkness A slayer of souls Seeker of agony on all Ageless shadows grace My tomb within hell's Ripping dungeons that Eat the screams of Torn bodies and cut Out hearts scattered on The blood soaked floors I was born a slayer A slayer that delights In agony wrapped in anguish his, hers , yours give me a choice I chose all..... Robert Lindley 05, 23 1980 note: This is from long ago. A very dark time in my life. Must have been wasted because no ryhme.. lol

I might add here, having read the comments, writing of sadness, depression, dark times, well how can I say, expressing these feelings is the best way to bring in the light, and getting to better days, by sharing we know we are not alone!

I have to disagree here Robert, this poem flows and is full of emotion raw and true, the only waste would have been you not posting it, this is an A7 for sure!!!

Robert, I am so impressed with the way that you describe this dark time! Sometimes we try to forget times like these or shut them away in the recesses of our minds, but as Kelly said, it can be so therapeutic to articulate them in writing. And you have done so in an superlative way! Thank you for sharing this gem with us! Pandita

No matter how we've lived, either way, right or wrong, it's never wasted. It must have been a Dark Abyss, Robert. Great write, my kinda poetry, James :)

I have been through dark times in my life, so I understand how expressing your emotions through this kind of writing can be very therapeutic.... Really great work, my friend. An amazingly intense poem!
